Having completed the Self-Build course at the Beattie Passive Training Academy, I was able to start work transforming my 1960s detached house into a stylish and contemporary home with all the benefits of Passivhaus living. The simplicity of the Beattie Passive Build System enabled the local College’s carpentry students to build the timber frame structure in just 4 days, and once on site, the testing and certification will all be taken care of by Beattie Passive, giving me peace of mind knowing my home will be built and finished in line with Passivhaus standards.
